        <div class="angular-equals-page"><p>Determines if two objects or two values are equivalent. Supports value
            types, regular expressions, arrays and
            objects.</p>

            <p>Two objects or values are considered equivalent if at least one of the following is true:</p>

            <ul>
                <li>Both objects or values pass <code>===</code> comparison.</li>
                <li>Both objects or values are of the same type and all of their properties pass <code>===</code>
                    comparison.
                </li>
                <li>Both values are NaN. (In JavasScript, NaN == NaN => false. But we consider two NaN as equal)</li>
                <li>Both values represent the same regular expression (In JavasScript,
                    /abc/ == /abc/ => false. But we consider two regular expressions as equal when their textual
                    representation matches).
                </li>
            </ul>

            <p>During a property comparision, properties of <code>function</code> type and properties with names
                that begin with <code>$</code> are ignored.</p>

            <p>Scope and DOMWindow objects are being compared only by identify (<code>===</code>).</p></div>
